Will Young performed the version of this song heard in the film Mrs.Henderson Presents,
I believe it was actually written by Jack Scholl, Bradford Browne, and Max Rich.
I copied the lyrics from SweetLyrics.com

          C           G               C            G
There's a lake in the park, there's a house by the lake;
          C           F            G           Am
There's a girl in the house in the park by the lake;
        Dm          F            C           G
And the girl in the house by the lake in the park
       F           G            C
Is The Girl In The Little Green Hat.

      C           G                  C          G
And tonight after eight, that's when I've got a date;
         C             F            G               Am
When the moon's riding high and the stars light the sky;
         Dm          F            C           G
With the girl in the house by the lake in the park;
    F           G            C
The Girl In The Little Green Hat.

E            B             E                B
There's no water in the lake, there's no roof upon the house;
   E               B       E
No trees-es in the park at all;
         G               D             G              D
But I'll wait beside the lake, I'll be welcome at the house;
     G               D      G
I'll meet her by the garden wall.

          C           G               C             G
There's a ship on the lake, There's a sailor on the shore;
          C           F               G       Am
There's a girl in his arms, she's the girl I adore;
       Dm         F            C           G
So goodbye to the house by the lake in the park;
        F           G            C
And the Girl In The Little Green Hat.

          C            G               C           G
There's a storm on the lake, there's a ship in the storm;
          C           F           G            Am
There's a girl on the ship in the storm on the lake;
        Dm          F           C           G
And the girl on the lake on the ship in the storm
       F           G            C
Is The Girl In The Little Green Hat.

       C              G           C          G
As the ship starts to dip, she is losing her grip;
      C             F            G             Am
Every dip makes her tip, not the girl, but the ship;
        Dm          F            C            G
But the girl on the ship has the pip from the trip;
    F           G            C
The Girl In The Little Green Hat.

           E              B                 E               B
She's been sailing quite enough, she's been clinging to the rails;
      E           B         E
She's dying to be home once more;
           G              D              G              D
'Cause the lake is rather rough, And the girl is rather pale;
      G               D       G
She's glad to get her feet on shore.

        C           G             C               G
Ah, she gave up the ship, And the captain and his men
      C            F          G         Am
For a round ticket trip to my arms once again;
        Dm          F           C            G
Now I'm back in the park at the house by the lake;
         F           G            C
With The Girl In The Little Green Hat.

Cheers, and good luck.
